Example manifests

Complete manifests for the shapes you'll create most often, collected in one place so you can start from a working example instead of assembling fields from reference tables. Each sample states its prerequisites; all of them use the same names as the rest of these docs (namespace my-app, cluster my-cluster, configs standard and large, image valkey-9-0).

注記

These samples are starting points for demonstration and experimentation, not production configurations. Before production, work through the security hardening checklist and Sizing, and adjust names, sizes, zones, and credentials to your environment.

Platform menu

These are cluster-scoped and platform-team-owned; see Curating images and configs for the design guidance behind them.

Image allowlist entry

No prerequisites. Registers one runnable image; without a ValkeyImage, no config can reference the image and no cluster can run it.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyImage
metadata:
  name: valkey-9-0
spec:
  repository: valkey/valkey
  tag: "9.0.0"
  version: "9.0.0"

Base config

Requires the valkey-9-0 image above. A complete menu item: image, resources, and engine settings. Always set resources in curated configs; a config without them produces BestEffort pods, first evicted under node pressure.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyConfig
metadata:
  name: standard
spec:
  imageRef: valkey-9-0
  resources:
    cpu: "1"
    memory: "2Gi"
  valkey:
    maxmemory: "1500mb"
    maxmemory-policy: "allkeys-lru"

Size variant via baseRef

Requires the standard config above. Overrides sizing and inherits everything else, including the image and the per-key valkey map merge (maxmemory-policy survives from the base).

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyConfig
metadata:
  name: large
spec:
  baseRef: standard
  resources:
    cpu: "4"
    memory: "16Gi"
  valkey:
    maxmemory: "12gb"

Reusable ACL role

No prerequisites. A named permission set that bindings on configs and clusters reference; see ACLs.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyRole
metadata:
  name: read-write
spec:
  categories:
    - name: read
      access: allow
    - name: write
      access: allow

Clusters

These are namespaced and product-team-owned; see Provisioning a cluster for the walkthrough.

Minimal cluster

Requires a published config (standard above) and the my-app namespace. Three shards, one replica each: six nodes.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyCluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: my-app
spec:
  configRef: standard
  shards: 3
  replicasPerShard: 1

Zone-aware cluster

Requires nodes labeled with the listed zones and, for the nodeSelector, a node-pool: valkey node label. Pins pods to three zones, enforces per-shard zone spread, and restricts scheduling to a dedicated pool; see Zone-aware placement for what each field does and what happens when placement is unsatisfiable.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyCluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: my-app
spec:
  configRef: standard
  shards: 3
  replicasPerShard: 1
  placement:
    zones:
      - us-east-1a
      - us-east-1b
      - us-east-1c
    zoneSpread: required
    nodeSelector:
      node-pool: valkey

TLS-only cluster

Requires a kubernetes.io/tls Secret named my-cluster-tls in my-app with tls.crt, tls.key, and ca.crt, with the SANs TLS specifies. TLS is immutable after creation: decide here, not later.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyCluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: my-app
spec:
  configRef: standard
  shards: 3
  replicasPerShard: 1
  tls:
    secretRef: my-cluster-tls

With cert-manager, this Certificate produces a compliant Secret (it assumes an existing Issuer named valkey-ca-issuer; see the cert-manager walkthrough for the Issuer and the reasoning):

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
  name: my-cluster-tls
  namespace: my-app
spec:
  secretName: my-cluster-tls
  duration: 2160h      # 90d
  renewBefore: 360h    # 15d
  privateKey:
    algorithm: ECDSA
    size: 256
    rotationPolicy: Always
  usages:
    - server auth
    - client auth
  dnsNames:
    - my-cluster.my-app.svc.cluster.local
    - "*.my-cluster.my-app.svc.cluster.local"
  issuerRef:
    name: valkey-ca-issuer
    kind: Issuer
    group: cert-manager.io

Cluster with an ACL user

Requires the read-write role above. Binds one application user scoped to its own key prefix. The moment this binding exists, the permissive default user is disabled; every client needs credentials from then on. Generate the hash with echo -n '<password>' | sha256sum.

apiVersion: valkey.gomomento.com/v1alpha1
kind: ValkeyCluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: my-app
spec:
  configRef: standard
  shards: 3
  replicasPerShard: 1
  acl:
    - username: app-user
      passwordHashes:
        - <sha256-hex-of-password>
      permissions:
        - roleRef: read-write
          keys:
            - pattern: "myapp:*"
              access: readwrite

Where the other manifests live

Some worked manifests stay on their task pages, where the surrounding procedure matters as much as the YAML:

• Multi-tenancy and RBAC — the complete tenant-onboarding bundle: namespace, Role, RoleBinding, ClusterRole, and ClusterRoleBinding.
• Networking and ports — a worked NetworkPolicy for namespaces that host clusters.
• Benchmarking — in-cluster benchmark Job manifests, including TLS and ACL variants.
• Installation — the release artifacts (crds.json, operator.yaml) that install the operator itself.
